Matt

We’ve got a new theme for you now, a dark orange and black theme that only has sidebar/widgets on the home page. There have been a fair amount of requests for more darker themes like this and Chaotic Soul, so we’ll continue to keep an eye out for some. Of course if you have any suggestions for dark themes, please leave a note in the comments.

Here is a preview of the theme:

This is a nice one. I like it because it’s a dark theme and you can easily read the words because the text is much whiter and bigger than in other themes. I am not too fond of the top bar, but I guess that’s what gives it its name.

the chaotic soul one is almost perfect, the colors are awesome and very simple…i just need the column to be a bit wider, so my pictures will fit, if i shrink the pictures i feel like it takes a way some of the pleasure of viewing them (for my friends anyways). the one i have now has a cheesy “new post’ spot and thats really all i don’t like about that one. thank you.

i cant agree more to the above comment. Darker themes are more than welcome here. But we need more space in the columns for the pictures. A black and white combination will do the trick for the upcoming themes.

In any case, I submitted info about it with the Feedback button some time ago as per instruction in the forums for theme suggestions, but didn’t get any reply from the staff. Thought the theme looks pretty good, what with the given customization options and font size/type that hits the sweet spot. Would be great to see that being introduced.

Hi, I’m liking a lot of WP’s new themes, although I’d like to see more options in the three column range. Maybe a three column theme with a image header would be nice? Still I’m well happy with ‘Garland’ for my main blog at the mo. Cheers

nice one. i really miss the black color on the background of the themes. i wish they were a bit more customizable (besides the header image, we could choose the link colors or the font size). someone could create a theme with black and red or black and pink, kinda minimalists. it would be nice too. ^^ cheers!

I like the new theme, “Sunburn” – it provides another theme to choose from, and the more the merrier. I do have to side with Dana in that if we were given more customizing options it would make the great stuff available even greater. For example, my wife, Kritter Girl, liked using the purple color them for highlighted lettering and side colors, but would have liked to have had the option of choosing a customized header.
Word Press is great because of its diversity and always eager to add or improve.
Great job, Matt. Thanks. This theme would be perfect for around Halloween time, or like some say fitting perfectly with the macabre material of a blog. Also, think the home page only concept is a good idea with less clutter, et cetera, and as said in a comment above, more like a web page.

niiiice!! Love it! Just a suggestion, but we need a theme with a layout like Regulus but with different and more color and theme ooptions…like animals, colors (text, backround, headers etc.) and other stuff….great job, though!! I like the dark backround with the bright yellow shafts right above the title…very nice!

Sorry, not for me. I would like to see more of three column themes where both of the side bars are on the right side instead of content being in the center. I also prefer a lot of white space to make the site look more professional.
